polls show him trailing president obama by as much as 11 points. the latest poll puts the score at 54 to 43. is pennsylvania in play? let's bring in former pennsylvania governor ed rendell who knows pennsylvania like no other. welcome. >> hi, alex. >> we want to talk about the fund-raiser. it's been on the governor's schedule for a while. he's not been in your state campaigning since mid-summer, so why now? >> i don't think they intended to have this rally, but i think the pennsylvania state republican party pressured them into having a rally. they're not playing in pennsylvania right now, and unless the polls improve significantly, i don't think they'll play much at this point. president obama's been very, very popular in the southeast, in the philadelphia suburbs and the city itself. it's a real tough hurdle to overcome. but interestingly, ohio, pennsylvania, florida, none of them according to the time's poll looked promising and no candidate can win without winning at least one of those three states. >> as a political veteran, you know well it's

but they were both in ohio yesterday, and obama is leading big there if you believe the latest polls. yesterday there was an argument that hey some of the democrats are being more sampled in some of these polls. what do you think about that? >> if a poll in ohio says that obama is ahead by 8 or 10 points, i think that undoubtedly means that romney is behind in ohio, whatever the percentage. connell: maybe just a few points -- >> right. if there's a silver lining there, it is my sense if these people who say they will vote for obama do not feel strongly about it. i think there's still a lot of anxiety about where we are, and they are open to an argument from mitt romney about why obama's stewardship of the economy has been wrong for the country, but it hasn't quite been made yet. dagen: what is the one thing that mitt romney needs to do in denver next week, in the debate? >> i think he has to associate obama's economic record, the slow and declining growth rate, and the fact that unemployment went up to 9%, 9 1/2 percent early in his presidency and stayed flat virtually across the enti

connell: latest fox news poll for the race between president obama and mitt romney. president obama up five, and another part of that poll shows the vast majority of americans believe everyone should pay some sort of the federal income tax. dagen: isn't there some disconnect between these two poles? forced to explain this. there is a disconnect because if mitt romney is in part running on the 47% comments and everybody needs to share in the burden that the president is leading, there is a disconnect. >> part of it has to do with the way mitt romney segues in an part of it has to do with how the electorate sees mitt romney. bottom line, the way governor romney praised his concern of those who don't pay income tax it is a needlessly divisive comment that forgot the fact many low income people pay social security and payroll taxes and are contributing. it was unfortunate statement that hurt them in the polls recently. there is an argument, think your comments were going in this direction, if you said i want everybody to pay lower rates for all, eliminate deductions, but
